What are your special interests?

My special interests are:

1. Coding - game dev with some games released on itch.

2. Math puzzles - I found a new pattern in a unsolved Math problem.

3. AI - highly obsessed - talk to AI every day learning new things!

4. Trying to learn everything! e.g i know it's impossible to learn everything ( but golly gosh I'm going to try! )

5. trying to find connections with seemly unrelated things!

I'm with you on no. 4! I've been trying to learn everything about everything since I was about 2 years old. Half a century in and I've still got a long way to go. It's what gets me out of bed every morning (unless I'm reading something so interesting in bed that I forget to get up until the afternoon). As a special interest, I think it'll see me out.

I mentioned to someone else on the forum the book Why Machines Learn by Anil Ananthaswamy. If you're interested in maths (2) and AI (3), it might float your boat. I liked it.

It's a nice feeling when people have the same special interest! - I've recently started a project programming my own AI, but I'm taking a unconventional approach to it - since as you know from reading " Why Machines Learn"
current AI uses floating-point weights -1 and 1 binary but I'm going down the root of trying to make a AI using Ternary method which uses 3 states (-1, 0 and 1), because i believe AI in it's current state can never reach AGI.

couple years ago was talking to a old friend about this, and part of me wanted to learn it from the base up and not just copy and paste a pre-build model ( but he refused to start/learn from scratch ) because my inner logic was buzzing thinking it was missing something like a color layer to it, but i was not sure till recently i came across Ternary computing from 1958! then if i get better results ( will build both versions ) then try to design a Ternary CPU, if it works out! still trying to get my head around it all!

also on the same note, today i contacted Deepmind about working with them/for them, but i do admit i lack a lot of skills necessary! but if i get this new AI built and working could always contact them again if they don't get back to me! - with more proof of my skills*

3 years making games and never finished a single project or released anything on steam as i planned to, kinda why i wanted ADHD assessment

That sounds so familiar! It helps to reframe it as having had lots of fun doing it, rather than being hard on yourself for not completing it.

I agree with Trev about the WCAG. I struggled to read any text on your page. Take a look at things like minimum contrast ratios. If you google "contrast checker" you'll find lots of sites that will help you get the text contrast right for old fogies like me. If in doubt, there's nothing wrong—and a whole lot right—with black on white.

I wish you  the best of luck with your course and getting your games finished - I'm sure you will get there in the end.

Yes i have, but not when i made these games, just started the course 2 months ago, before hand was kinda just winging it, i re-invented the wheel in some of my games ( back end code wise ) making my own code versions for what is already build into Unity. 

also most games only work on desktop not mobile or tablet, and all my games are just prototypes next to no views... kinda de-motivating... but i have a issue where i have to many different ideas and struggle to stick to 1 at a time, got like 30 projects on a go and keep jumping from one to another so many unfinished projects.

3 years making games and never finished a single project or released anything on steam as i planned to, kinda why i wanted ADHD assessment / medication to keep me on track but it will never happen or it will when I'm 97 years old!
